CARIBOU HERDS
JUST LIKE SANDS
OF THE SEASHORE
Marvelous Spectacle of a
Great Sea of Caribou
Is Witnessed Near
Boundary Line.
The marvelous spectacle of thou
sands of caribou or Arctic deer
swimming across the Yukon river
and moving over the hills along both
sides of the river as far as the eye
could* reach was witnessed by the
people who arrived here last night
on the American government's dis
patch boat General Jeff. C. Davis.
The caribou herds were encountered
in the vicinity of the international
boundary line, lying along the 141st.
meredian. between Kagle and Forty
mile posts. Captain Ilergman. mas
ter of the Davis; I)r. H. C. Miller of
the U. S. Army service, who Is en
route South from St. Michael; Mrs.
Miller and others had the pleasure
of seeing the marvelous sight. Dr.
Miller says:
"It is impossible for any person to
say how many caribou were in that
great herd. From familiarity in esti
mating bunches of cattle on the
ranges. I should estimate that at
one time wo were able to see from
the deck of the steamer fully 4,000
to 5,000 of the animals. How many
had crossed and gone over the hills
during the days previous to qur ar
rival and how many were yet to come
no one could even approximate, I im
agine.
"We had great difficulty in navi
gating among the swimming animals.
For three hours at least we were
steaming upstream among them. The
barge In front of the steamer plowed
down some of them, but they seemed
to hob up from beneath afterward.
The crew got ropes and lassoo?*l a
dozen, and dragged them aboard and
killed them, and we had the finest
or fresh caribou cutlets and roasts.
The captain would not allow anyone
to kill any more, as he deemed it
would be wanton destruction to takr
more than could be used.
"The animals were congregated on
islands in the rivers along the river
bars and banks and at every avail
able point. The hills seemed alive
with them, ^ grazing and traveling
slowly."
Atb/N-- - ?
v/uiua >> no ?er? anoara report
the animals were traveling South
ward. and no doubt they comprise
the huge band which treked North
ward across the Olacicr trail forty
miles West of Dawson during the
summer. Win. Rerry. miner, who is
here from Glacier river, says the
caribou passed there going North
two months ago. following Walker's
Fork toward the Denntson. One
man walked twenty miles among the
moving herds before he could get
through them, and many others saw
them. He says the whole moun
tains seemed to be alive and moving.
